what Were the Lost Artss

mat were tne lO6t artSI
All we know Of them is by indications
Of their practice, which we find in works
which have survived decay. OF their
number only a few can be mentioned in
our brief space.
The ancient Egyptians, Phenicians and
Romans had a knowledge Of some things
in chemistry which we do not possess,
such as to make malleable glass. They
also knew how to color and gid glass by
a process unknown to us. Bronze and
copper were tempered to the hardness Of
steel, and of this the Egyptians made
their edged tools. Paints were mixed
whose colors were imperishable; at least
they have existed fresh for 1000 years.
At Damascus they made blades of steel
which could be bent into a circle and
would fly back into perfect line. Neither
this nor the gold tracery in their steel can
we initiate to-day. We do not know
how King Rameses and Thotmes
transported monoliths and elevated them
on to the pyramids, though we could do
the same to-day by other processes.
Artisans and chemists have in vain tried
to reproduce iridescent glass which
archeologists have brought to light. This
does not complete the catalogue, but il is
enough to show that the ancients were
by no means unskillful. New York

A Popular Paris Dance.

The pavane is now the chief dance at
the Paris Opera house, and promises to
be more the rage than ever at the after
Easter parties. II is well suited 10 win
popular favor. The charming marquise

which has been gotten up for the occa-
sion, is not rumpled, and there is no I'M
pleasant consequence IL the dancers re-
main ungloved. The gentleman in GER
tain figures goes on n knee and presses
calamity but respectfully to his lips the
hand Of his dame or demoiselle. The
whole thing Is 30 very refined, elegant
and proper, that even French mothers
do not object to their daughters taking
part in it. But they insist on gloves
being worn by them. Kissing above the
rose is no joke here, unless between old
friends and relatives, and the contact
between a g%entleman's lips and the back
Of a young lady's hand is not TO be
thought of.-Home Journal.

PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS.

Notorious Counterfeiter Released-Clem-
ency for Other Convicts.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The President has
acted upon the applications for pardon of a num-
ber of convicted criminals. The most important
case Is that of Thomas Ballard, notorious
coun terfeiter, who was sentenced January 81,
1875, to thirty years i'm mprsonment in the Albany
pepitentiary for engraving and having in his
possession counterfeit plates, notes, etc. The
President has granted him a pardon. In in
dorsing the application he says that the prisoner
supposed to be of the most expert
counterfeiters In the country He has now been
in prison equivalent to more than fifteen years
allowing the deduction he has secured for good
behavior. He has grown to be old man,
broken down physically and mentally. His
conduct has been such As to cause much interest
to be felt in his case by many good citizens and
officials concerned in his conviction His wife,
who has clung to him with true woman's devo-
tion all these years, and who has almost
herself out in her efforts support
and educate her daughter. just now
reaching womanhood. pleads for her
There is a universal belief the part of those
acquainted with the that the prisoners ref
ormation is complete, and that in circurn-
stances could this broken-down man. whose
mind is fast giving way with his body, be a
menace to society if liberated. The President
adds: II am of the opinion that in this case
the law has been fully vindicated."
Pardons have also been granted as follows:
To William e. Moore, sentenced May ,, 1884, to
four years imprisonment at Detroit for man
slaughter; to Ben Mercer, sentenced Oct. Is,
1886, to one years Imprisonment in Kentucky
for violation OF the internal revenue laws; to
Samuel X. Johns. convicted In Arkansas, Oct 30,
1882 and sentenced to two years imprisonment
for eounterfeting, and to Eli Mullens. sentenced
in Tennessee, Jan. l, 1887, to one years impris-
onment for violation of the internal revenue
laws, and to Jacob Heicke, convicted of bigamy
in Utah. Pardon has been refused the case
of John Irvine. sentenced in Wyoming, Feb.
20, 1879. to Imprisonment for life, for mail rob-
berry. In declining to grant pardon in this
case. the President says that he cannot quite
bring himself to the point of pardoning this con-
vct now. This seems to be bad time TO par
don such an offense, when they quite in

from the body and taken possession of by Schaf-

The above the facts in the case, can be

MINOR MATTERS.

An Instance Illustrative of the Initiative
Powers of the Japanese.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-An illustration OF the
ceverness and initiative overs of the Japanese,
which might also serve to point an argument in
the discussion of the international copyright
question, is afforded by certain Japanese publi-
cations which have been exhibited to prominent
officers of the State Department. 1t appears
that when the study of English made COM
pulsory in Japan, number of American school
books imported, and, by formal order.
made the textbooks of the native schools.
American book-makers had quite lucrative
trade for Z time. But the Japanese soon turned
their attention to the subject and after few
experiments, began turning out clever reprints
of the American publications, Of such excellence
and in such quantities that the demand for the
American product has now practically ceased.
The only inferiority of the Japanese books
noticeable st a casual examination is in the
illustrations and this is accounted for by the
fact that the native eneravers have not yet dis
covered the art of cutting their pictures on the
grain end of the block. but uniformly engrave
the side, which results in slightly blurre
picture.

WASHINGTON, June 30.--The Civl-service

E. Neale, of Indiana In April, Neale. clerk
in the Adjutant- generals office, War Depart
ment was dismissed the service on account of
activity in politics. It appears that he was a
Republican candidate for the Legislature, and
declined, at the instance of his superiors. to
withdraw his name, whereupon he dis

only exercising his rights as a citizen, and that,
unless his candidacy detracted from his eficien-
cy as clerk, which was not alleged or shown,
that his dismissal was improper from the causes
stated The commission, therefore. hold that
Neale is still clerk of the Department and is
